On this week’s episode of Fast Facts – Perio Edition, Katrina Sanders, RDH continues the breakdown of the AAP 2017 Classification System Stage three.
Quotes:
“Now, for dental hygienists that are typically working blindly and by blindly I mean, we’re using feel more than we are our own eyeballs.”
“Meaning in most scenarios, the only time that we can see radiologic bone loss on a patient is once they have moved into stage three periodontitis.”
